BFR Survey
We will be sending out a survey in a few weeks and would appreciate your taking 5 minutes to respond to it.  Thank you!

We’re looking for presenters to 2 programs for spring of 2015: OD Toolkit and “Cliffhangers with Clients!”

The OD Toolkit will comprise of 3 tools presented by 3 BFR members.   In the past we’ve included “Intro to NLP, Neuro-Linguistic Programming”, Stages of Team Development, Ladder of Inference, Using Legos with teams, and “What automobile/ animal/ type of garden is your team?”  What tool can you present?
 
“Cliffhangers with Clients!”  will comprise of 2-3 cases that describe a client engagement or facilitation when something unexpected happened that caught you off-guard.  You will describe the situation to the group, and leave us at the Cliffhanging moment.  We will work in small groups to discuss what each of us would have done in your shoes and the reasons behind that.  Then we’ll hear the actual outcome from the presenter, and explore what we’ve learned from people’s different approaches.  Got an interesting case?
 

We have a publicly accessible Member Directory so people can find out about you and your skillset.  This feature makes it possible for people to search the directory by areas of expertise. This means that members of the public can find you if they need a consultant with your skills, and other BFR members can find you to collaborate on projects or seek your expert advice.  Here's an example:
 

John Connaughton Connaughton Coaching & Consulting Member Since: 2014 Organizational Development Leadership Development Talent Management Coaching & Mentoring Team Building Relationship Building

Members:  We will be sending out a reminder with your username and password so you can update your profile.

Non-members:  If you’d like to be listed in the directory, join here.
